[PHP-DB] Re: How are site layout blocks made
The blocks are made using templates which are "included" into the main page. The templates consist of both php code and html as well as CSS and sometimes javascript.

I had missed the wrapper when I was playing with the code.. I use a

all different)..

Only the access to the Database will change. Well, I can't speak from experience, but I was told that MySQL replication is very good. For the amount of money that you have as budget, I am sure you can pay a lot of MySQL AB certified consulting hours. I don't know what you mean that MySQL is not reliable. Does that have to do with scalability? There is a whole set of smart decisions to make regarding scalability before you decide to waste you money on commercial solutions. Anyway, before you jump on throw a lot of money to it and expect to do it, I think you would like to read (if you haven't already) this very compeling article on how the AmIHotOrNot.com site developers made it so scalable with just LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL). One of the things he states is that it seems that MySQL is much more optimized for Open Source platforms such as Linux than for instance Sun. http://www.webtechniques.com/archives/2001/05/hong/ Maybe that is the way to go. If you make it that way, I would not mind getting half of your budget above for the advice. :-) Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, My Site runs now on Solaris. Both the front end (Web Server / php code / Apache) and the Database (Backend server). We had some problems with Mysql and we don't find it 100% reliable for such a busy site. We also want to use a db cluster for high availability (we are talking about $200,000 of hardware and software for the change).

[PHP-DB] Moving from MySQL to MSSQL Server 2000
Hi I'm planning to move my site (Very successful / high traffic Auctions site) from MySQL to MSSQL Server 2000. I was wondering if anyone has done this move and if there are any pit falls to notice. 1. Is ODBC the only way to work from a Solaris / Apache / PHP 4 machine to a Win2K / SQL Server 2000? 2. What could be the performance cost (if any). 3. Are there any special points that need to be taken into consideration on either side?

RE: [PHP-DB] Create Table from a file in php
Dave,
From the MySLQ manual : DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS] tbl_name [, tbl_name,...]
[RESTRICT | CASCADE],
but I don't know if it would work in a mysql_query().
Alternately, use mysql_tables() and mysql_tablename, and parse the results
to determine if the table exists. If it does, use ALTER TABLE I guess.
I've had the luxury of being able to do this at the console, not through a
script.
Not exactly nuggets, but hope it's helpful - Miles

[PHP-DB] data access problem...
Hi again, I just solved the problem myself. It was a endless loop in one of the functions I use. Thanks anyway, Michael Hi, I have a quite strange problem with PHP/MySQL. I wrote some scripts for an user database and it's working fine so far. Today I implemented a script to change the details of a user. That's working as well. But after doing the update I can't access to the changed row anymore with that script. I checked the databse with PHPMyAdmin and the update was done correctly and I can even access it without problems. But not with my script. It isn't even possible to log in with that user any more. What could be a possible reason for that. If you need to see the code just tell me. I get no error messages but the timeout from the browser. TIA, Michael

=I struggled hard and long with this one too - even more so for us Windows users who
have to worry about \n or
\r\n... The bottom line is that the PHP-native email() function is very
exacting/narrowly defined - and I
couldn't get it to accept my code reliably (and there's nothing wrong with MY code so
it must have been ...
fault !?)
> 4. No error messages. An email constructed as above sends perfectly - but

=yes I found this too, but no I couldn't figure it out.
=So let's try to be constructive: have you read the various RFCs (depending upon which
formats of email... there
are several to cope with)? RFC822 is the most basic/easiest for me to understand and
covers simple-text email
msgs (in particular the various headers).
=This raises the question about the use/implementation of Return-Path vs From. If you
remove the Return-Path
header completely and succeed in send/receiving a msg, what happens when you hit Reply
to that msg - does it
give you the from address or does the (useless) Return-Path address interject?
=Assuming that works ok, then the question becomes: do you really need to worry about
Return-Path at all? If you
do not control the Return-Path, you may want to ascertain the server admin's
policy/procedure for dealing with
any (your) 'returned mail'.
=If you do need to get clever with the headers then be advised that my path to success
ran through phpguru.org
and a set of open source email PHP classes available there for download ('the man',
Richard Heyes (?sp) is often
here on the list steering us through email headaches). Even though I'm not into
classes/OO-programming, several
examples are provided and were enough to get me started - although much of the
rationale is pure gobbledegook
unless you've read the RFCs (nag, nag).
=Sorry I didn't spot anything blindingly obvious. Let me know how you get on.

It's a sendmail config thing. Do you have access to the server? Or is at a web host? If you can get access to your php.ini file and restart apache, you can change the sendmail path to: sendmail -t -i -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] That bounces all mail to that address. I believe that in PHP 4.0.6 they added another parameter of the mail function that lets you add options to sendmail from each script, but check the docs. HTH. Paul BTW, since your original message wasn't about databases and PHP, it should've gone to PHP-General. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP-DB] data access problem...
Hi, I have a quite strange problem with PHP/MySQL. I wrote some scripts for an user database and it's working fine so far. Today I implemented a script to change the details of a user. That's working as well. But after doing the update I can't access to the changed row anymore with that script. I checked the databse with PHPMyAdmin and the update was done correctly and I can even access it without problems. But not with my script. It isn't even possible to log in with that user any more. What could be a possible reason for that. If you need to see the code just tell me. I get no error messages but the timeout from the browser.

Re: [PHP-DB] GROUP BY MONTH(DateBilled) misses an entry consistently
Mike,
Sorry, I haven't been keeping close track of the list - fortunately you have solved
your problem.
However you do not appear to have taken on-board Jason's comment. His/our concern
would be that there are two
mechanisms for extracting the results of the query from the MySQL resultset:
DBfetch_array() which is presumably
a local wrapper, and (later in the code) a 'native' call to mysql_fetch_array(). These
two were both present
before the switch from WHILE to DO...WHILE. Well done for spotting the error!
I too have built myself 'wrapper' routines to handle db queries and both the
subsequent extraction and loop
control. They looks like:
Fetch( $dbConnection, $NumRows, etc, $ResultSet )
while ( TheresAnotherRowToScan( $RowList, $ResultSet ) )
{ etc
[in fact, I stole the arg lists from the routines themselves - the language used in
the calling routines is much
more topical/self-documenting]
=Thus there is no need for the 'double' resultset extractions...
=Regards,
=dn

Re: [PHP-DB] mail() - Return-Path
1. Message sends. 2/3.

=readdir -- read entry from directory handle
string readdir (resource dir_handle)
Returns the filename of the next file from the directory. The
filenames are not returned in any particular order.
=so it is not possible to retrieve the filenames in alpha sequence.
=Instead of taking the filenames directly from the readdir() and dropping them into
the , it may be
necessary to put them first into an array/list. At the end of the while loop, the
array could be sorted, and
then another (for) loop implemented to copy the sorted list from the sorted array/list
into the s.
